5 Things Families Love at Perth Leisure Pool

1. Monkey Jungle
Little adventurers will love the colourful Monkey Jungle splash area, designed especially for children under 8. Expect bubbling water features, mini slides and jungle-themed fun that keeps younger children entertained for hours. It’s bright, interactive and perfect for little ones to get used to splashing around in the water in a safe environment.

2. The Flumes
Ready for some excitement? Perth Leisure Pool’s 2 flumes are always a big hit with older kids and big kid grown-ups too! Twist, turn and splash your way down the full or half- moon before heading back up for one more go!

3. Aqua Run
The Aqua Run sessions are always a big splash during the school holidays, with inflatable, obstacle-course fun in the pool. Race your family across the water, and climb, bounce and slide your way through the challenge while trying your best to stay upright!  Keep an eye out for session times throughout Scottish school holidays.  

4. Swim Disco
Famed in Perth as the place to be for tweens and teens on Saturday night, the PLP Swim Disco sessions combine music, lights and pool fun for an unforgettable family experience. As if this wasn’t enough, the Aqua Run comes out too making this the perfect activity for energetic older children and teens looking for something a little different.

5. Free Outdoor Play Park 
When your swim is over, why not make use of the outdoor playpark and picnic area at the leisure pool? This fantastic outdoor play park is packed with adventure play equipment, slides, swings and climbing frames, making it the perfect spot for kids to burn off the last of their energy after their swim.
